Jina langu ni Stephen Colvin na ninaishi New York City.
Nimeamua kushiriki kile nilichojifunza kutokana na somo langu la saikolojia, uzoefu wangu kama mwanamuziki kitaaluma, kutumbuiza katika kumbi za sinema na kumbi za tamasha, pamoja na upendo wangu kwa nje, kucheza michezo na kufundisha wanariadha, zote kwenye tovuti hii.
Ikiwa una hamu ya kutosha ya kucheza vyombo vya muziki, kucheza na wanamuziki pamoja na shauku ya kucheza na kufundisha michezo, una bahati sana.
Vyombo vyangu, au zana za kujieleza, ni piano, pembe ya Ufaransa, violin, kufanya mikusanyiko mikubwa au midogo ya wanamuziki, skis za alpine, racquets za tenisi na mipira ya tenisi!
Kama kijana, Nilipenda skiing ya alpine, kucheza tenisi na sauti ya pembe ya Ufaransa. Leo, Mimi ni kocha wa mbio za alpine, kocha wa tenisi, mwanamuziki na kondakta.
Ninapenda kutumia wakati kucheza ala za muziki, kufanya mazoezi ya piano, violin, au Kifaransa horn na kufanya muziki chumbani, orchestra ya symphony, opera, kisasa au ballet kila fursa inapotokea.
Kujifunza kitu kipya, kucheza ala au mchezo mpya si rahisi. Ni sawa kuhisi kuchanganyikiwa na kuchanganyikiwa na kujifikiria kuwa mjinga sana kwa sababu haupati.. Tunahitaji kuwa watafutaji mambo mapya tukitafuta kusawazisha yanayofahamika na mapya.
Hapo mwanzo, tunaanza wasio na uwezo bila kujua — hatujui tusichokijua. Inachukua muda kugundua kile kinachohitaji umakini wetu tunapokuwa wasio na uwezo wa kufahamu — tunajifunza tusiyoyajua. Hatua inayofuata inakuwa wenye uwezo kwa uangalifu — ambapo mazoezi makini na madhubuti hujenga kujiamini. Hatua ya mwisho ni uwezo usio na fahamu tunapokuwa kitu kimoja na chombo chetu, vyovyote itakavyokuwa.
Kuelewa taarifa za kiufundi na kuziwasilisha kwa ufanisi kunahitaji mazoezi. Inachukua uwezo wa kuibadilisha kuwa matumizi ya ubunifu na ya vitendo. Uwezo wa kueleza mawazo yako kwa kutumia maneno rahisi kutosha kuelewa katika vikundi vya umri wote si rahisi kama inavyoweza kuonekana mwanzoni. Kwa hamu hii akilini, kuna masomo mengi ambayo yanaonekana kuwa changamano au mafumbo ambayo yanaweza kurahisishwa kiubunifu na kiustadi.
Kuchunguza na kugundua utendakazi wa ndani wa ala za muziki na jinsi mwanadamu yeyote anaweza kuchora muziki kutoka kwao, pamoja na uwezo wa kufanya vivyo hivyo na jozi ya skis au racquet ya tenisi na mpira wa tenisi ndio lengo na madhumuni ya tovuti hii..
Kuwa mwanamuziki anayeigiza ni sawa na kuwa mwanariadha. Wanamuziki wa kitaalamu na wanariadha waliojitolea wana mila ya kawaida, kudumisha lishe yenye afya, kupata usingizi wa utulivu, kuzingatia katika mazoezi, mafunzo, taswira na kutafakari, nk.
Hapa, Nitatoa hatua za kuchukua na njia za mkato za kufanya kwa ajili ya kujifunza kuteleza kwenye milima ya alpine, tenisi, au kucheza muziki. Ufahamu mkubwa unakuja kutokana na ugunduzi wa njia za mkato za asili, kama vile kuchanganya kwa ustadi vipengele vya msingi katika michezo na muziki. Wakati huo huo, tunaweza pia kupewa njia za mkato ambazo huongeza uwezo wetu wa kutumia vipengele hivi. Umahiri unatokana na kufikia uwezo usio na fahamu ambapo kila kitu hutokea kwa kawaida.
Kuna mengi ya kugundua na safari inafaa kabisa.
She played Bach. I do not know the names of the pieces, but I recognized the stiff ceremonial of the frenchified little German courts and the sober, thrifty comfort of the burghers, and the dancing on the village green, the green trees that looked like Christmas trees, and the sunlight on the wide German country, and a tender coziness; and in my nostrils there was a warm scent of the soil and I was conscious of a sturdy strength that seemed to have its roots deep in mother earth, and of an elemental power that was timeless and had no home in space.
Bach is a colossus of Rhodes, beneath whom all musicians pass and will continue to pass. Mozart is the most beautiful, Rossini the most brilliant, but Bach is the most comprehensive: he has said all there is to say. If all the music written since Bach’s time should be lost, it could be reconstructed on the foundation which Bach laid.
Nadhani kwamba kama mimi walitakiwa kutumia mapumziko ya maisha yangu katika kisiwa jangwa, na kuwasikiliza au kucheza muziki wa yeyote mtunzi moja wakati wa muda wote, kwamba mtunzi bila shaka karibu kuwa Bach. I really can’t think of any other music which is so all-encompassing, ambayo hatua me kwa undani hivyo na hivyo mara kwa mara, na ambayo, kutumia neno badala imprecise, is valuable beyond all of its skill and brilliance for something more meaningful than that – its humanity.
Music is the effort we make to explain to ourselves how our brains work. We listen to Bach transfixed because this is listening to a human mind.
…the most stupendous miracle in all music!
Mungu asiyekufa wa maelewano.
Enyi wana wenye furaha wa Kaskazini ambao mmelelewa kwenye kifua cha Baki, jinsi ninavyokuonea wivu.
Bach opens a vista to the universe. After experiencing him, people feel there is meaning to life after all.
In Bach the vital cells of music are united as the world is in God
Perhaps the safest thing to do at the outset, if technology permits, is to send music. This language may be the best we have for explaining what we are like to others in space, with least ambiguity. I would vote for Bach, all of Bach, streamed out into space, over and over again. We would be bragging of course, but it is surely excusable to put the best possible face on at the beginning of such an acquaintance. We can tell the harder truths later.
